What this means
Chiasso has no rules of its own. What is stated here is higher-level law — not a provision of this municipality.
Chiasso kennt keine eigene Regelung zum Campieren oder Übernachten im Freien. Es gilt die kantonale Ausnahme für das Biwak — und die greift ausschliesslich im Hochgebirge oberhalb der Waldgrenze, für eine einzige Nacht.
Show machine translation
Chiasso does not have its own regulations for camping or spending the night outdoors. The cantonal exception for the bivouac applies — and this only applies in the high mountains above the tree line, for a single night.
Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.
Die Gemeinde nennt die Bedingungen ausdrücklich: nicht in empfindlichen oder geschützten Gebieten, und unter Beachtung strenger Verhaltensregeln. Chiasso selbst liegt im Flachland; dort greift die Ausnahme nicht.

The municipality explicitly states the conditions: not in sensitive or protected areas, and in compliance with strict rules of conduct. Chiasso itself is located in the lowlands; there the exception does not apply.
